If you told me that Netflix was sponsoring an open streets event in 2004 I would probably think that they were planning to use bike couriers to deliver their DVDs instead of the mail

In the case of test taking, my suspicion is that a lot of people will go beyond “you’re not dyslexic and are only pretending to do so to get extra time” to “I don’t believe dyslexia is a condition worthy of getting extra time” and will shame all who try to get extra time

The problem about using shame is that people take it upon themselves to be vigilantes and dole out shame based on what they think being disabled “should” mean. You see this with people harassing disabled people using the handicapped parking lots despite the state-certified placard on the car

Related (I think): many political people seem to think that the way to win a political argument is to show that the other side is incoherent ideologically

My question is, does the National Laboratory of the Rockies cover exclusively research into Rocky I through Rocky V and Rocky Balboa, or are the Creed movies also part of its remit?

Same here. At the point I was buying a car the only minivan with any electric capability whatsoever was the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV, so that’s what I got. Now there’s the VW Bus but hard to justify a new car purchase so soon after that

I’ve been rereading the Sue Grafton Kinsey Millhone crime novels (A is for Alibi etc.) and one common recurring theme is the toll being a cop takes

… because they’re fixin’ to put a hole in your face

MSFT also has the most links to large corporate enterprises and IMO that’s where a lot of the value of AI will be (generating notes of meeting, auto designing corporate slide decks, writing first drafts of SOWs and proposals, writing proper emails)

A cunning strategy. Make United think “if they’ll hit one of their own players what will they do to us? Best stay away” which probably explains the useless crosses into the area

If they have, it would be an interesting later development because the rule seems to require that the culture knows about germs

They guzzled pizza and fizzy drinks

Plus the chart would look even more steep if we used nominal dollars

My A level history syllabus was focused on going really in depth on specific periods of history, and I feel that opened my eyes to wider trends much more than what my kid is learning now in the US where it seems to be broad-sweep surveys of US and world history

Also those using high-falutin’ Latin phrases should at least pronounce them correctly! “Soo”?

It’s a very American point of view (and one that crosses political lines) to think that the US is the only immigrant nation
